Finding your happily ever after is complicated when your matchmaker is a cat… her.
Beau’s happy at sea until his father passes and leaves him with an odd last request. Now he’s setting up shop in a small town, searching for ogres, and, inconveniently, falling for the miller’s sister—who just happens to be taken with someone else.
It soon becomes clear that if Etta and Beau want to get anywhere, they’ll need not only each other’s help, but the cat’s as well. But putting your trust in a feline is difficult, especially when you’re not exactly sure what it is he has planned…
A romantic retelling by the author of The Eldentimber Series

I LOVED THE RE WRITE OF PUSS AND BOOTS
A good story bears retelling, and can require more skill from a writer than a “new” tale. Long live the Marquise of Carabas!
I enjoyed this book and will look for more from this author. The characters were interesting. The story was a fun take on the Puss in Boots fairy tale. I recommend it for young adult on up.
This was a fun quick read. The author nails the cat in all his moods. Her version of the original Puss in Boots is modern and creative. This book has typical two person POV, which is not my favorite, and as with all romance, it would benefit from plotting advice like Alex Limberg’s Ride The Pen post which analyzes Macbeth. Sadly, well-written scenes were interspersed with “telling” passages, like the red lines between destinations on a map. I was uncomfortable with some of the grammatical errors which seemed to be authorial ignorance rather than voice, especially important in a YA novel. ‘Sounds like I hated the book. I did not. I would read more by this author, and in fact, will. It is just the sort of fiction I’d grab on my way to the beach or after a particularly harsh rejection. A good fairy tale will suck me in every time and a bit of pixie dust covers a multitude of sins. If the book had been longer, it would have been bogged down by its flaws. As is, it rises above.
Enjoyable light read
